HUGE PRICE REDUCTION! Sustainably constructed, contemporary tree-house on the banks of the Oconee River. Sitting atop pilings reclaimed from the Great Salt Lake Trestle, this locally designed 2750 SF dream home makes a bold visual statement while embracing the natural beauty in which it was constructed. In addition to providing the foundation, the reclaimed pilings were also milled to create the maintenance free vertical siding and porch framing. Similarly the horizontal siding is composed of Ameritech, a composite of recycled plastic, wood, and cement. When combined with the Rainscreen Technology base skin, commercial grade metal roof, and aluminum framed energy efficient windows, the finished shell creates a sustainable, low-maintenance and energy efficient base for executing the remainder of the project. While full architectural site and building plans have been drafted, the present state of completion leaves the new owner tremendous flexibility in finishing out the dwelling. Existing features already in place include soaring ceilings, interior framing for expansive dual master suites, a spacious guest room, 4 full baths, a library, an artist studio, great room with a dine-in kitchen that overlooks the beautifully wooded lot, 2000 sqft of porch and deck spaces, framing for an endless pool, and an amazing rain waterfall that extends from the roof. Plans even exist for an elevator to ensure easy access for any population. However, in that no mechanicals are in place, the new owner could easily and inexpensively redesign the interior layout to suit his/her needs. This is truly a one of a kind opportunity just waiting for someone who desires sustainable, low-maintenance living in a beautifully natural setting to complete the vision.
